Excellent code reader … the same one my mechanic uses for quick checks in the parking lot. Nice that it gives English descriptions of the codes … nothing to look up in a book or on the internet.

I’m told that the more expensive readers can give you real time readouts and diagnose as you drive but that’s not what I need. I wanted to be able to get the code, erase the code, and see if the code came back. Before purchase of this, the check engine light came on and I took the car to the dealer where they promptly charged me $75 to tell me that they erased the code and shouldn’t do anything to repair the underlying problem unless it keeps reoccurring. Diagnosing and fixing the evaporative system would be time-consuming and expensive since the code indicates a general problem. Well, a month after the code was erased, it came back again. That’s when I decided to buy this code reader (cheaper than the dealer charge) and erase it myself. The code has not recurred now for half a year. This could have been a cold weather problem where a part was frozen or sticking and not a wholesale failure of a component. I don’t know but I feel I saved myself big money. Why didn’t I just go to an auto parts superstore and use their code reader for free? Well, I live in the middle of nowhere and I didn’t want to have to make long trips, and I’m not sure they would have erased the code for me if I did. This is an expensive, well made, and easy to use device.

The product was shipped promptly – arriving ahead of Amazon’s estimated delivery window. It works well and has features such as freeze frame, text explanation of DTC codes, and live monitoring which I’ve previously only seen in units costing three to four times as much.
I was concerned that having only two buttons would make it difficult to navigate. It’s slightly slower to have to scroll down four or six times instead of up one but in practice it did not slow things down much at all.
